Viper Venom Blood Clotting Time

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 85612

A blood clotting test in which a substance taken from snake venom is added to a plasma sample to start clotting, and the time until a clot forms is measured. Because the venom extract triggers clotting at one exact point, the result isolates a specific part of the clotting pathway. It is used when investigating unexplained clots or an abnormal result on a routine clotting test.
